    Calypso always seems to have a spooked look on her.

    I like the intensity in #5 - On a Mission.

    #6 is cute, but the detail is lost. Black cats are hard. Finley looks like a go-getter.

    I like #1. The eyes have a very concerned look in them - almost as if you just took away his(her) food.

    They are all so, so cute :)

    For me #3 is a fantastic and creative photo!
    - after that, I like #4 for the framing and perspective
    and I also like the close up in #5 for those great eyes :)

    4 and 7 are awesome. 5 is good, but the shallow DOF looks odd.

    I like 5. Either on a mission, or praying for a fireman rescue. I like the amount of Bokeh in both.

    Thanks for all the comments! I love having kitties again - it's been many years. They've both been a challenge to shoot.

    I have a very hard time getting Calypso in focus - her face looks out of focus even when it is in focus, it is spooky! & Finley - my camera won't autofocus on her at all, & I have a really hard time manually - it's like dark on dark!

    My original idea was to get a shot like this with a reflection, like I happened upon once before, shooting a friend's daughter (with the friend's reflection):

    If I get a chance, I want to play with this over the weekend & see if I can get a good reshoot.

    Yes, it was a big yawn - couldn't believe how long she held it! Thanks :)
